(No. 17) Brandon Harris, 6-3, 195, Parkway, LSU commitment: The top dog in this class so far is Harris, a prospect that turned in a strong season last year and followed that up with an even more impressive summer circuit that vaulted him to a mid-level four-star prospect. ESPN ranks him as the No. 3 best dual-threat quarterback in the nation. Through four games this season, Harris has thrown for 1,100 yards and 11 touchdowns with just three interceptions while also rushing for another 330 yards and six touchdowns. Parkway is averaging 59.3 points per game.

(No. 30) Glen Cuiellette, 6-1, 212, Mandeville, Tulane commitment: At first it seemed as if Cuiellette’s future at the next level was going to be at safety or linebacker. However, he has shown the requisite skill set to stay at quarterback and has excelled since committing to the Green Wave in late February. The reigning District 6-5A Offensive Player of the year has thrown for 1,110 yards so far this season with 12 touchdowns. Tulane did offer him as a quarterback and the coaching staff may have gotten a steal if he continues to develop the way he is this season.

(No. 35) Quentin Gibson, 6-3, 175, Shaw: Western Kentucky, South Alabama and Grambling have all offered the Eagles quarterback who has dealt with some injuries early on this season. Gibson doesn’t have the receiving corps that he had around him last year but was very impressive at some national camps early in the summer and almost earned himself an invitation to the Elite 11 camp held in conjunction with Nike’s The Opening, drawing rave reviews from Super Bowl-winning quarterback Trent Dilfer.

(No. 38) Donovan Isom, 6-5, 235, Destrehan, Utah commitment: No quarterback in the state is off to a better start this season than Isom. He’s completed 67.9 percent of his throws and has thrown for 1,056 yards. Perhaps even more impressive is that he has 17 touchdowns and zero interceptions in leading the Wildcats to an impressive 5-0 start. One of the things he wanted to improve on this year was his consistency as a passer and he’s certainly been able to do that. Some other schools were on him as a tight end or defensive end but if he continues on this path, they’ll realize that missed out on a great quarterback.

Now let’s take a look at two prospects locally that aren’t in the Nifty 50 but that schools are certainly interested in:

James Tabary, 6-2, 198, Holy Cross: Tabary currently holds an offer from Southeastern but is receiving plenty of interest East Carolina, Louisiana-Lafayette, Miami, Middle Tennessee State and McNeese State so far. Tabary has had some tough luck when it’s come to injuries as he dealt with a shoulder problem during the Tigers’ semifinals run last season and suffered a concussion against West St. John in Week 4. He’s thrown for 694 yards and six touchdowns so far this season with just one interception but is also an underrated runner.

Omari Jones, 6-2, 185, McMain: Entering the season, Jones had passed for more than 4,300 yards and 55 touchdowns as the Mustangs quarterback and he has started this season on a torrid pace. He has 1,609 passing yards and 18 touchdowns in the first half of the season. His stats are just too good to ignore. He’s drawing interests from several in-state programs but someone is going to get a steal in Jones.
